Curtis & Co Cakes wedding cake design
Have you any idea everything there may be to learn about wedding cakes? The greater educated you are, the better the decisions you shall make. We have you covered with this top tips.
Taste the Cake
- While you start setting up meetings, find out when each baker's next tasting is scheduled. At tastings, clients are asked into the bakery to sample exemplary cakes, ask questions, and review portfolios. This is an excellent possibility to meet bakers and understand the range of their capabilities fully.
Select a Style
- Deal with the wedding cake after all decisions about dress style and reception design have been made. These elements can serve as a blueprint for the look and structure of your wedding cake. Choose a cake that's appropriate for the design of the venue, the season, your gown, the flower arrangements, or the menu. If you want bright colored accents (such as sweets flowers or icing ribbons), give your baker cloth swatches. The wedding cake should participate the wedding, not really a glaring sideshow.
Size It Up
- Generally, three tiers shall provide 50 to 100 guests; you'll likely need five layers for 200 guests or even more. In the event the reception is within a grand room with high ceilings, consider increasing the cake's stature with columns between the tiers. (A "stacked" cake is one using its layers stacked immediately atop each other, without separators.)
Price It Out
- Wedding cake is charged by the cut -- the cost varies often, but generally ranges from $1.50 to $15 per slice (though this is an extremely basic and loose estimation). The more difficult the wedding cake (based on intricate adornments or hard-to-find fillings), the higher the high cost. Fondant icing is more expensive than buttercream, and if you want elaborate molded designs, exciting colors, or handmade sugar-flower describing, you'll pay for the wedding cake designer's labor.
Find Methods to Save
- Order a small cake that's furnished to excellence but can only just feed a handful plus several sheet cakes of the same flavor to actually nourish the guests. Avoid tiers, handmade glucose flowers, and specially molded shapes. Garnish with seasonal flowers and fruit for a stylish (but less costly) effect. If you will have a dessert desk (or another lovely) in addition to the cake, consider a cake size for half your friends. Servings shall be smaller, but the cost will reduce too.
Get the Facts on Frosting
- Buttercream or fondant? That's the key question. Buttercream is often much more delicious. But if you value the smooth, almost surreal-like look of fondant just as much as we do, consider frosting the cake in buttercream first and adding a layer of fondant over the whole confection then.
Consider the Weather
- If you're having an outdoor wedding in a hot local climate, stay away from whipped cream, meringue, and buttercream: They melt. Ask your baker about summertime icing options; You might want to get a fondant-covered cake -- it generally does not even have to be refrigerated.
Mind Your Magazines
- Keep in mind, mags (like ours) have food stylists, editors, and assistants working nonstop to keep the cakes looking perfect. These public people spend hours mending the sweating, dripping, leaning, or sagging that can occur to a wedding cake after it's been sitting for a while. And when what they do doesn't work, they can fix it with Photoshop. There is also the luxury of fabricating cakes from items that isn't edible -- most cakes in magazines are iced bits of Styrofoam, which certainly doesn't taste very good. So don't expect your cake designer to be able to replicate exactly what you see in print
Take Note: It's All in the Details
- When it comes to decor, adornment costs have huge variations. The cheapest option is fresh blossoms or fruits that, in some instances, can be employed by your florist for a minimal fee. Around the top quality are delicate gum sweets or paste paste bouquets, which are built by hand, one petal at a time. But here's underneath line: All add-ons -- including marzipan fruits, chocolate-molded flowers, and lace points -- will raise the rate. (For the record, we think it's worth the cost!)
Encourage Wedding cake Collaboration
- If you want to garnish your wedding cake with fresh plants, find out if the cake custom shall work with your florist, or if you are in charge of the blooms. When the florist is operating the show, will she have time and energy to adorn the wedding cake? Be skeptical of complex floral accents if your reception space design is labor-intensive.
Get Him Involved!
- The reputation of the groom's wedding cake, traditionally a Southern custom, is on the rise. The bride's wedding cake -- the main one slice by the couple at the reception -- is customarily ingested as dessert. The groom's cake is usually darker and richer (often chocolate) and nowadays crafted to show off the groom's passions and obsessions. Give pieces to friends as a take-home memento or cut and serve both for dessert.
Go Mini?
- Many bakers agree that the thought of a mini wedding cake (where each visitor gets his or her own) is a great idea -- theoretically however, not always in practice. Not only will each wedding cake require its own design (often as elaborate, or even more, than one that's four times its size), each will demand its own pack. Unfortunately, boxes don't come in mini-cake sizes. Usually the bakery must build individual boxes in which to move these cakes. Multiply by however many guests you will be having, and you will see just what a costly, time-consuming feat this actually is. That said, when you can swing it, they look amazing being passed around by waiters on sleek silver trays (and undoubtedly, they taste as great too).
